SPOTTED DICK
One of the most popular British puddings is spotted dick. The latter half of the phrase was a nineteenth-century British word for plain pudding; the spots are typically raisins, but we used dried currants. (The dessert also goes by spotted dog.) In this recipe, the time-honored suet (beef fat) is swapped for butter. Vanilla-specked creme anglaise is on top.

Steps:
- Set a round wire rack in bottom of a large stockpot. Set a 5-cup pudding basin or ovenproof bowl (or two 3-cup basins) on rack. Fill pot with enough water to come about three-quarters of the way up sides of basin. Remove basin; dry, and butter inside. Set aside. Cover pot, and bring to a boil.
- Butter a 10-inch round of parchment paper; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in butter until pieces are no larger than small peas. Stir in sugar, lemon zest, and currants. Stir in lemon juice, then eggs and milk; stir until combined.
- Transfer batter to prepared basin. Place parchment round, buttered side down, over basin. Make a pleat in center of parchment. Cover with an 11-inch round of foil. Make a pleat in center of foil to allow room for pudding to expand. Cut a piece of kitchen twine about 7 feet long. Wrap twine twice around basin over foil, just below lip. Knot to secure. Tie loose ends to twine on other side of basin, creating a handle.
- Carefully lower pudding into boiling water, and cover pot. Return to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and steam until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pudding registers 180 degrees, about 2 hours, adding boiling water occasionally to maintain level.
- Transfer pudding to a wire rack. Let cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of bowl to loosen; invert pudding onto a serving plate. Serve warm, with creme anglaise if desired.

SPOTTED DICK
Steps:
- Fill a large heavy pot (at least 8 inches across by 6 inches deep, with a tight-fitting lid) with 1 1/2 inches water. Make a platform for pudding by setting metal cookie cutters or egg-poaching rings in bottom of pot. Knead fruit and zest into dough and form dough into a ball. Put into well-buttered pudding mold and flatten top. Top dough with a round of buttered wax paper, buttered side down, and cover top of mold with heavy-duty foil, crimping tightly around edge.
- Bring water in pot to a boil and set mold on platform. Steam pudding, covered, over simmering water 1 1/2 to 2 hours (add more boiling water to pot if necessary), or until golden and puffed. Transfer pudding in mold to a rack and let stand 5 minutes. Discard foil and wax paper and run a thin knife around edge of pudding. Invert a plate over mold, then invert pudding onto plate. Serve immediately with custard sauce.

Steps:
- Place a steamer rack inside a large stock pot. Add enough water so that when placed on the steamer rack, the pudding mold will be about ¾ of the way submerged. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.
- Grease the pudding mold well with the softened butter. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and turn the mold to coat evenly. Cut out a 6-inch (12 cm) round of parchment paper and grease with butter.
- Grate the frozen butter on the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl.
- Add the remaining 3¾ cups (465 G) flour, the salt, and baking powder. Mix with a fork until evenly distributed.
- Add the sugar, raisins, currants, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.
- Add the milk and eggs. Stir with a rubber spatula until the batter comes together and there are no dry spots remaining, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer to the batter to the prepared pudding mold and smooth the top. Place the parchment round over the batter, greased side down. Secure the lid to the mold.
- Carefully lower the pudding mold into the steam bath. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and steam for 80-90 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pudding is at least 180°F (80°C). Add more water as needed to maintain the level.
- While the pudding steams, make the crème anglaise: Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl, filling about halfway.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ¼ cup (50 G) sugar. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, remaining ¼ cup (50 G) of sugar, the salt, and the vanilla bean (if using vanilla extract, stir into the cooled crème anglaise). Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until beginning to steam. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Ladle ½ cup (120 ML) of the milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture and whisk well. This will temper the eggs so they do not curdle when added back to the pot. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pot with the remaining milk mixture.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to ensure the egg yolks don't cook on the bottom of the pot, for about 5 minutes, until the custard coats the back of the spoon.
- Set a strainer inside a medium bowl, then set the bowl in the ice bath, making sure the water doesn't come over the sides. Strain the crème anglaise into the bowl. Whisk until cool, about 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Once the pudding has cooked through, carefully remove it from the steam rack and let sit for 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Uncover the mold and remove the parchment round. Run a knife around the edge of the pudding to loosen. Carefully flip onto a serving platter.
- Slice and serve the spotted dick warm with the crème anglaise alongside.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a large mixing bowl sift in the flour and bread soda, add the salt, sugar, and sultanas. Mix well by lifting the flour and fruit up in to your hands and then letting them fall back into the bowl through your fingers. This adds more air and therefore hopefully more lightness to your finished bread. Now make a well in the center of the flour. Break the egg into the bottom of your measuring jug, and add the buttermilk to the14 fluid ounce (425 milliliter) line (your egg is part of your liquid measurement). Pour most of this milk and egg into the flour. Using 1 hand with the fingers open and stiff, mix in a full circle drawing in the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. The trick with spotted dick like all soda breads is not to over mix the dough. Mix it as quickly and as gently as possible thus keeping it light and airy. When the dough all comes together, turn it out onto a well-floured work surface. Wash and dry your hands.
- With floured fingers roll lightly for a few seconds just enough to tidy it up. Pat the dough into a round, pressing to about 2-inch (6 centimeter) in height. Place the dough on a baking tray dusted lightly with flour. With a sharp knife cut a deep cross on it, let the cuts go over the sides of the bread. Prick with knife at the 4 triangles as according to Irish Folklore this is to let the fairies out!
- Put in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 35 minutes or until cooked. If you are in doubt about the bread being cooked, tap the bottom: if it is cooked it will sound hollow. Serve freshly baked, cut into thick slices and smeared with butter and jam. Spotted Dick is also really good eaten with cheese.

SPOTTED DICK STYLE OATMEAL PORRIDGE
This is a wonderful kick-start to the day. It actually tastes pretty much EXACTLY like spotted dick and custard and it absolutely delicious. It contains loads of complex carbohydrates a few simple carbs and loads of protein and amino acids to really get you going and keep you going for hours. Basically it's really good for you (to almost exactly the same degree that Spotted Dick and Custard isn't :) and yet it tastes heavenly. I have it or a variation on the same lines every day. Stops me snacking for hours and really gives me the drive to get work done. It takes a few minutes to prepare and cook - but hey, breakfast is the most important meal of the day - I think it's important that it supplies the fuel you need, so it's got to be worth a few minutes of minor effort in its preparation and I see no reason it shouldn't taste just great! As a thought... I think that this actually tastes better with only two egg whites, but three definitely seems to give me that extra lift and drive to keep going.

Steps:
- Separate the egg whites into a small bowl and dispose of, or otherwise jetison the yolks :).
- Weigh the sultanas into another small bowl.
- Chop the prunes into medium chunks (perhaps just a bit bigger than 1/3 inch cubes roughly) and place in another small bowl.
- In a saucepan, add 1 medium heaped tablespoon of Wheat Bran.
- Weigh approx 65g to 70g Porridge Oats (Oatmeal) into the pan (depending on how hungry you feel).
- Add a mere hint of ground ginger (you don't want to actually taste the ginger, it's just there to help bring out the flavours), and add a generous few drops of Vanilla flavouring.
- Add approx 445g/445ml water (to my taste, approx 6.6g/6.6ml water per gram of oatmeal gives a good thick porridge).
- Place pan on stove and bring to a boil. When just starting to boil, add the sultanas, and continue to boil on a medium heat, stirring continuously, for a few minutes until fairly thick and the sultanas have softened nicely.
- Depending on how dried out the prunes are you may wish to add them now (or earlier if they are really dry. The ones I get are completely hydrated and really squishy so I add them only at the very end). Also, if using sugar rather than sweetner, it would probably be best to add it now.
- Pour the egg whites onto the middle of the porridge and turn up the heat a bit. Don't stir.
- Heat for a few minutes, then poke a wooden spoon or spatula in a few places around the outsides of the pan to tease the porridge and egg off the sides of the pan back into the mix. You want a final result of biggish pieces of egg-white through the porridge but no huge lumps - and obviously the egg white must be cooked completely :).
- Bring back to a vigourous boil for a couple of minutes until it's clear the egg-white has properly cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent the egg-white forming any really big pieces.
- Stir in a few teaspoons on Splenda or non-aspartame based sweetener (aspartame decomposes at 85 degrees centigrade and loses its sweetness - Splenda is sucralose-based so avoids this problem) - to taste.
- If your prunes are as squishy as mine, then add them to the porridge and quickly stir in to mix.
- Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle another teaspoon of sweetener over the top.
- Add a generous dollop of low-fat strained (Greek-Style) yoghurt (or any plain yoghurt you have handy), and gently stir in a spoonful of granulated sweetener into the yoghurt. (The yoghurt does benefit from having been sweetened and sugar will be crunchy for ages so granulated sweetener (which dissolves instantly) would be best.).
- Drizzle honey over the top of the porridge and devour.
- Trust me - you won't make this only once :) I did it one morning when I fancied a simpler porridge without all the spices and fruit I so often add and have been eating it very nearly every day for weeks :).

Steps:
- Grease a 3-pint (1 liter) pudding basin. Mix all the ingredients together, except the egg and milk. Add the beaten egg and milk and mix well. (I do this in a mixer but you can do it by hand, no problem.)
- Put the mixture in the basin, cover with tin foil or a cloth, and put the basin in a pan with water half-way up the sides of the basin. Bring the water to a boil, put on a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 3 hours, remembering to top up with (add more) boiling water now and then.
